Those two GM numbers are for the same exact switch but the P/N 1894852/D6216 comes packaged with the flat to half round harness adapter and the other switch P/N 1972751/D6217 comes packaged w/o the harness adapter by itself. The real deal tilt column t/s switch with the gray wire & bulb socket is no longer available through GM and was last sold under P/N 1893596/D6214, I would have to take a look but may have one of these available in NOS.
